History of Burana tower
Burana was built in 11th century by Karakhanids Empire. In the ancient Arabic language Burana means as “Minaret”. There is a legend that the king Karakhanid built this tower to protect his only daughter when a prophet had told that she would die from a widow spider bite.
Due many earthquakes damaged the minaret and it was reconstructed in the 1970.
There is a small museum exhibiting excavation findings like sculptures and fine art.
